Update of the CIA World Factbook : no more TZ map

Hi all, While browsing the CIA World factbook, I noticed that they have upgraded to 1997 version, which is very nice IMHO. <http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html> However, from our point point of view, this is not *that* nice, because they removed completely (unless I missed something) the TZ map of the world (and TZ informations about the countries as well, except a note about Kiribati moving the intl' date line). So the file www.htm should be updated to remove completely the present links. I do not know if we should keep the reference to this work. Note there is another reference to this map in the `asia' file (about Mongolia), which should be removed too. Antoine

Apparently, the CIA map is still available online from the University of Texas at Austin: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/world_maps.html It has the 1997 map in pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/world_maps/Std_Time_Zones_...) and the 1995 map as a JPEG (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/world_maps/Time_95.jpg). Also see the CIA publication catalogue (http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/mapspub/222.html). Mathew Englander
